Summary in the original language of the document
A survey is presented on the impact of different intensities of grassland management related to nutrient balances and their assessment. With special reference to data from Austria and Germany, it is postulated that on-farm nutrient balance assessment is a valuable tool for identifying deficits in efficiency of nutrient use in the soil-plant-animal system. Farm gate balances can be used as indicators for Codes of Good Agricultural Practice in Europe, if input/output parameters and calculations are standardised and if acceptable surpluses are regionally validated.
